1-3rd scale macarons

so. this is gonna be a sorta more personal entry. it's kinda related to minis i guess. but i'm gonna reveal more about how much of a klutz i am, as if you didn't know already, right?

so i got up at 6am due to the change in temperature (sinus issues) and since i couldn't fall back asleep, i decided to finish assembling the 1:3 and 1:4 macarons.

since i was starved of sleep, and rationality, i couldn't really concentrate on what i was doing. i experimented a little with different methods of filling the macarons, one of which resulted in my right pinky finger having a small blister, and a developing callus on the index finger.

sweet ol' ahma (paternal grandma) had been watching me hustle and bustle about this whole week, getting the display up etc, and she had expressed regret in being unable to assist me, so i decided to ask her to help me mix up the chocolate frosting.

look at her go! LOL thanks ahma! <3! eva had been wondering what got both of us laughing so hard, so she too came and tried to lick up the clay mix -_-" i asked grandma if it was fun, she chuckled (keep in mind she's usually this grumpy old lady) and said she didn't know how to explain it. subsequently, each time i mixed up more frosting, she tried to help me with it XD

and after i got out of the shower, i proceeded to spray my right shoulder with deodorant when i was trying to apply some liniment.

yeah. i'm exhausted. LOL

and i did a virtual /facepalm when i read an email i just received from the organizers that the event will only be for 4 hrs from 2pm to 6pm!!!!! AUGH!!!!! had i known earlier i wouldn't have tried so hard to rush out the stocks and display. well at least i know now that i should have more than enough stocks ; ;

REMEMBER, it's 19th December, this saturday!!!! tickets will be on sale at 1pm, come on down and say hi to us!

asuka,yea, i'm twitching from being stressed out all week, my lower inner lip is chewed raw too XD all that for 4 hrs??? WTH!

jocelyn,yeah, i'm rather disappointed as well, but s'ok, live and learn!

lee,i hope you can make it, rest well ok??? i see you're as much of a space cadet as i am XD i'm not keeping expectations high, i don't even know if i'll make -any- sales :(

Sausage,wahhhh ; ; i kinda expected that people would move away from the booths after a while, but if it's only 4 hrs....ugh. ah well, i can always try and sell leftover stuff at DoA :(

Tiff,Eva thanks you too, but she's as equally clumsy as i am, constantly bumping into walls and table legs XD bf says she takes after me...

Alexa,ooooh!! i only asked grandma cos she seemed like she wanted to be involved :) i think they like being 'needed' ^ ^

i don't know about most popular scale, i've only ever done 1:12 scale up till a month ago, when i switched to 1:3 and 1:4 in preparation for this event. so we'll have to see what the reception is like, so far it's not too bad, but....*takes deep breath* we'll see, we'll see.....i'll update!

and yes! i am DETERMINED to have a GREAT time on saturday! ^ ^ thank you!

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. - Rainer Maria Rilke
